NCT ID NCT06860737
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests whether special glasses can prevent nearsightedness (myopia) in children aged 6 to 9 who are not yet nearsighted but are at risk. About 388 children will wear the glasses for at least 8 hours a day for one year. Researchers will track how many children become nearsighted and measure changes in their eyes.

- What this could lead to
- If successful, these glasses could offer a simple, non-invasive way to prevent myopia in children, reducing the need for stronger prescriptions later.
